The mystifying view from the Moon Rock Mountain

The Moon Rock Mound tops the Moon Rock Mountain that has one of the most picturesque views of the Emerlad Valley. The Moon rock Mound is a mysterious formation comprised of the island's typical minerals. Almost perfectly spherical, it is 23 meters in diameter, and appears as if it was cut out of the rock, but it is monolithic with the rest of the monolithic mountain, and shows no marks of hand tools, or other meaningful images, except the man-made lines that have been overgrown with mossy vegetation. Nearby Lookout Castle and a sky temple of sorts (see one of the Valley's real sky temples) has been cut out of a convenient pillar. On the bottom of the Valley you can see the Yahalma river and the 130-ft. Moon Rock waterfalls.

The monasteries that the nature claimed back

After the 27th King (see the list of the Monarchs) allowed the Europeans on the island, all the more to build almost anything they desired, the French and German religious orders hurriedly built these unique cathedrals partially cutting into the most convenient mountain side using the sites of the former Queen Linga temples. Using their European skills and being in a hurry to start their proselytizing, which never succeeded, they were purposefully not left in the dark about construction methods in this rocky, uniquely jungle-like craggy mountain scape.

The wild and quickly growing trees, the torrential rains cascading down the cliffs and steep mountain stacks quickly conquered and destroyed the cathedrals. In the bottom picture, new river streams and waterfalls ran through the continuously accumulating dying vegetation, and broke through the walls of the cathedral. The stone-digesting, climbing vegetation has weakened the masonry, causing the collapse of the main structure.

The islanders say that even thought they learned the lesson of not worshipping Queen Linga (back in 11th century) nevertheless G-d of Noah would not permit the prized historical site to be used by a religion that worships another human.

The mysterious waterfall temple of the Emerald Valley

This temple is sheer mystery. It was built in the late 12 century. Its orientation gives no clues, there are no openings for sighting stars. There are no inscriptions or dedications. All three towers are hollow, sealed and empty, and the bulges are covered with intricate pattern of interlaced fine mosaic and inlaid yellow and blue beads of cyalith and krypton rock, offering no distinct images or symbols. Attland's historians and other academics conclude that such a temple must be an early Noahide meditation site, considering the nearby waterfall. The location is on one of the branches of the braided Yahalma river, on one of the last waterfalls miles before the northern outskirts of the city of Morau.

The Sky Temple of the Emerald Valley

The spring sunset over the Emerald valley and one of its own two sky temples. Back in the 10-11 century CE the temple tower was smaller, the main dome less colorful, and it served the island-wide cult of the Queen Linga worship. King Kleist, her grandchild, cleansed the island of Christianity, that was partially the result of the decadence caused by the queen worship. The king also rededicated the island's temples back into their original Noahide rite.

Further in the distance, true to the real landscape, the painting shows the faraway, Eastern Sky Temple.

The Crystal Temple

I enjoyed my day-long visit to the Crystal Temple. Located at the end of the Three Giants Fjord, the Crystal Temple was originally dedicated to the queen Linga, in order to consecrate the mountain crystal found in the nearby mountains by making a nearly 15 foot (about 5 meter) statue made of the pink-orange kryptonite-rich crystal.


The Temple was long been damaged and the statue of the Queen destroyed and made into smaller crystal pieces, but there was enough left of the columns (with capitals typical of the Attland architecture) to restore the temple to its former beauty, and install a 10-meter centerpiece sculpture made of thousands of cyalith- and kryptonite-rich crystal pieces. The crystal balls are close approximations of the crystal lanterns, as described in the Queen Linga Chronologies found in her famous Sky Temple and Mausoleum.

Since the 14-mile long Three Giants Fjord is located on a mountainous, inaccessible stretch of the north shores, the only way to reach the temple is by a seaplane, helicopter or a hydrofoil service from Waldihnok.

Near the Crystal Temple there is a guest center and crystal factory outlet, where they sell almost anything made of the crystal - night lights, torchier lamps, chandeliers, watches, jewelry, etc. Further up the mountainside there is a Crystal hotel whose lobby closely reproduces the beauty of the temple's main hall.

The Three Giants are one of the tallest pillars peculiar to the island. These three pillars are 534, 869, and 1023 meters tall, from the nearest to the farthest.

The Beacon Temple

The painting shows the 10th century temple and the 17th century fortress. This temple has the classic design: the circular platform; the rough slabs planted upright to define and support the circular ground level; and the streamlined, upward construction . The temple's Queen Linga flame eventually was strengthened to make the temple into a lighthouse. In the early 14th century (see the list of monarchs) all Queen Linga temples were converted into places of Noahide worship. This temple is located on the upper western shore of the Northern peninsula.

The Book Temple

The Book, or Library Temple is one of the most preserved ancient structures on the island.

Back in the 10-11 century, when the Nordic Catholic Christianity tried to gain hold on the island, there were already remnants of the Norse temples destroyed by the King Hrothgar's Covenant and its new republic. His granddaughter Linga inspired a cult based on the idea of her divinity, and the Temple was dedicated to her.

Most of the temples were built in and around the city of Bethel (see map here), which has been changed from a name of a Norse deity most likely Frygaheim, by king Kleist the Bloody who restored the democratic monarchy based on Noachide laws, and eradicated both the Christianity, and idol worship in the form of the Linga cult.

Initially the Book Temple was used to hold astrological tablets on 3 shelves carved into the wall. Many of the shelves and the tablets were destroyed by Christians and then the hordes of king Kleist the Bloody, only to be rebuilt afterward as a national archive. The books contained in the temple are copies of national family and land registers and other related ledgers dating back to 14th century. The originals are stored in the National Archives in Waldihnok.
